Out-halves

First 20 was very shaky before he remembered he is Beauden Barrett. Heavily involved with two tries and a couple of assists while his goal-kicking would have been most pleasing.

Tawera Kerr-Barlow (NZ Maori) 5/10

A performance he'll want to forget in a hurry. Gave away a silly penalty before an inexcusable no-arms tackle that could've been worthy of a red card. Will need a slice of luck to face the Lions again.

TJ Perenara (All Blacks) 7/10

Huge impact from the bench albeit against a weak opponent. Ran a brilliant support line to score a try and keep hot on the heals of Aaron Smith.

Aaron Smith (All Blacks) 6/10

Solid without being spectacular. Pass looked crisp that allowed the All Blacks to attack, but looked to be forcing it a bit as evident in a horror ball from the ruck that butchered a try.

Lima Sopoaga (Highlanders / All Blacks) 6/10

Looked rattled in Dunedin, with a wobbly cross field kick leading to a Lions try before a poor pass put the Highlanders on the back foot. Sound cameo on Friday with Aaron Cruden sidelined.
